If you fancy a challenge then the ‘Odd Window Out’ competition could be right up your street 🙂
Businesses across Plymouth’s waterfront have teamed up to create a shop window trail for families to follow in the lead up to Christmas, with some top prizes on offer for the winner.
As part of this year’s Winter Festival, the ‘Odd Window Out’ competition has been created by Plymouth Waterfront Partnership to encourage families to visit the shops, galleries and businesses in the waterfront areas of the city.
The trail consists of 14 shop windows which have been dressed for Christmas, but with each including one item that doesn’t fit the theme – the odd one out.
A fantastic prize package is up for grabs for the winner who can spot all 14 items on Odd Window Out trail and is lucky enough to have their name drawn from all the correct entries. The prize package includes:
+ A family season ticket for the outdoor ice rink on the Piazza
+ A family ticket for the Mayflower exhibition
+ A family ticket and toys from the National Marine Aquarium
+ Tickets for the Boxing Day performance of Cinderella on Ice at Plymouth Pavilions for a family of four
+ Mountbatten teddy and water bottle
+ High tea and cream tea vouchers from the Tudor Rose Tea Rooms
+ £50 Argos voucher
+ £20 voucher for Monty’s restaurant
+ A selection of chocolates, sweets and cuddly toys
Children up to the age of 16 can enter and families can download the entry form visitplymouth.co.uk or pick up a copy from the Tourist Information Centre opposite the Mayflower Steps. The entry form lists the businesses taking part with a map showing where to find them.
Sarah O’Leary, Plymouth Waterfront Partnership manager said: “We’re really getting into the festive spirit here on the waterfront and the Odd Window Out trail is a great reason to come down and discover the unique shops, galleries and outlets in this lively and vibrant part of the city.
“With so many fantastic independent traders, the waterfront is the perfect place to find truly special gifts for family and friends this Christmas. The local businesses have been very generous in donating such great prizes to the Odd Window Out trail, so I hope lots of families join in and enter the draw.”
The Odd Window Out trail will run from Thursday 22 November until midday on Christmas Eve, when a winner will be drawn from all the fully completed entry forms.
